You are the mill hill queen. So good to see you 🌻

[FrostyXStitch]

I enjoyed seeing your stitching over the last months. And the change of color on your trees.
Happy Stitching 🧵💜

[efbauer]

You have outdone yourself with those sugar skulls. Just a beautifully stitched set.

[KatTalks]

You're back! Hello!
Your hair is looking fantastically curly in the intro!
It is soooo much easier to leave the camera on the stitching, but it is lovely to see you!
The snowman mug is super cute. Look how happy and cozy he is!
(Tamping down on the exclamation marks because I'm going to look like I've had too much coffee haha)
You need to talk your brother into making a cross stitching tshirt! Then you can definitely boost his sales :'D
I'm not here for the stitching, I'm here to spend asyncronous time with you. Okay fine I might be here for both.
That Lanarte has the most gorgeous sunflowers, and the tiny pumpkin in the wheelbarrow 😻 The needleminder matches perfectly. You always have the perfect needleminders to hand. that spider! and the bat!
Fall Leaves (Mill Hill) is lovely! Look at all those different leaves. that would have been a wonderful stitch to work on while the leaves were changing colour - next year maybe!
When you said "you were taking your time" & that cute little mill hill came out I did have to giggle. Poor tomestone! :D but the MB is so much more colourful so I can see why you prefer it :) But I'm glad you finished it in time :D
Loved sitting in your garden watching the leaves change with you.
The colours on those sugar skulls are so vibrant! Great job stitching 3 in a month! 6?!
Hey that's me! 🤭 You are far too lovely. Thank you so much for the shout out! And thank you from the shrimps too - they say hi 🦐🦐🦐
I can't wait to stitch-a-start-a-long with you, I think it'll be lots of fun!
Good luck on eagle's majesty! 🦅

[shescraftin]

It was great to see you again. I was so happy that you didn’t squish that little bug. Lol 😂 the sugar skulls are so cute. I love that your knitting! I can’t wait the see what November/ December projects that you work on.

[deannaellett]

Enjoyed your update and love seeing all your beautiful projects. The Lanarte kit is beautiful and is now on my wishlist. You always seem to enable me lol. Enjoy the holidays! Thanks for sharing and happy stitching!

[Amylovestoads]

I always LOVE your videos. I would love to stitch / start the Blue Jays with you’ll. I think they would look fantastic on my bird wall. I’ll pick it up soon. You got sooo much done by stitching all 6 of those sugar skulls. They’re adorable.

[JennsCraftyWorld]

Great to catch up with you. I worked on my Mill Hill Harvest corn while listening! Love the sugar skulls: I love the kits with lots of beads. The Lanarte kit is looking great. Happy stitching!

[RhubarbPatchStudio]

Lol, you knew I would be watching. So glad you landed the plane and got this posted. 😄👩‍✈️🛬 The wheelbarrow project is so lovely. Can’t wait to see what you’re up to with Christmas stitching! I recently started a Prairie Schooler Santa, but I’m mostly focusing on finishing WIPs that are close to done. Feels good to lower the WIP count. Nice to see/hear you again. Happy stitching!

[kpatience]

The skulls are great 👍🏻
Wonderful vlog -lots of Autumn vibes.
I agree with you about not always attaching the beads with full X.
I think using 2 ply on MHs looks nicer.
Enjoy the season and happy stitching!

Well.. all I can say is my cart now has a few more projects than it did before. I have already owned many of the Mill Hill kits especially with owls, but now I own more lol. I am not sure if I will do a stitch a long but I am ready to join.. sounds like fun too.. Its so sad how the trees change and then all the leaves fall.. I can't wait to see all the buds of spring already. Happy Stitching

[pattysmith]

Your stitching is awesome love those fall/Halloween designs you are doing. Love the fall leaves our trees are pretty much naked now... I wait and rake in the spring but we don't have as many leaves as you do. Snow should be here before we know it. Happy stitching Patty

[ashleysstitchingcorner]

Look at you go with those Mill Hill kits! I absolutely just love the Sugar Skulls. Also, for as long as I have known you I don't think I knew you were a Dental Hygenist! That strikes me as new information for some reason. 😅 Always great to see your videos! I will also join your Stitch-a-Long in January! 😍 My kit is ready and waiting.

[mikytova]

I was beading "Angel with cardinal" by Jim Shore whilst watching this. Your vlogs are so relaxing and as always, your project are just gorgeous. Happy stitching xx

[judith]

I just ordered Cafe by the sea, Dimensions kit. My birthday is on 28th of April, but I don’t have a floss tube.
I like your YouTube videos and tutorials very much.

[cherylbreedlove]

Really enjoyed the video. I’ve never heard of the fried peppers so look forward to the video of your mom making them as just might have to try them.

[teril]

I always enjoy your videos, but really felt like we were on the same wavelength this time! I was just thinking of the blue jays kit this morning and starting those this winter. May have to at least start along with you in January! Also love the Mill Hills. Currently working on the Cardinal Forest. Have never been attracted to sugar skulls, but at this point after seeing your work I think it might be best if I just buy ALL the Mill Hills! Absolutely love the Lanarte kit and those gorgeous colors. Enjoy the holidays and your stitching!!

i thought i left a message earlier but i must not have pressed the send button as i dont see it here, silly me. i was wondering if the lanarte piece is designed by marjelin bastin as it looks like one of her designs and i know you love her work, i think it is just gorgeous.
